The experience my husband Sam and I had with Alina was like no other. Alina and Timmy were so extraordinary to work with, they aren't just a professional photography business they are amazing people to get to know and be around. It all started when I met with Alina to talk about her expectations as a photographer and mine as the Bride, before the contract was even signed I knew she was going to be the perfect fit to shoot our wedding day. The first time we had a photo shoot with her it was for our engagement shoot and everything turned out spectacular. She met with me about a week before the wedding to go over last minute details and discuss everything. Then she sent me a reminder email the day before with all the little things to remember (Like don't hold your bouquet too high). On the day of our wedding she exceeded our expectations and delivered the most beautiful photos ever! She had us cracking up during wedding party photos. We may not have had the "prettiest" Virginia sunset but the sunset photos she did were spectacular. Alina and Timmy did such an amazing job and grabbed SO SO many amazing moments at our wedding (like when I danced with my grandpa and how happy he was and when my Maid of Honor forced me to smile to everyone and then made me bawl like a baby). I can't wait to hang up photos and canvases from the wedding. read more

Alina Thomas Photography was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! From the moment we began communicating, I could tell I was working with an experienced professional who I could trust with capturing the most special day of my life. At our engagement session, Alina felt like a long lost friend. We had the best time talking and laughing with her, and she made us feel totally at ease! As the wedding approached, she helped us plan out a photo schedule and really took the stress off of us. On our big day, I was so thankful for her calm presence, flexibility, and creativity! I am amazed with how the pictures turned out- Alina can turn any setting into a masterpiece! She guided everyone perfectly in the posed portraits so that they didn't look awkward, and she also captured the most perfect candid moments. On top of everything, I was absolutely blown away to receive my entire album- nearly 800 edited photos- just ONE WEEK after our wedding! All of Alina's photos seem to radiate a sense of joy, and I can't think of a better way to remember the day I married my best friend! read more

Alina was absolutely fantastic! We had the pleasure of having her to take our wedding photos. We only had few weeks of wedding preparation and lucky enough she was available for our wedding day. We loved how the pictures turned out (soft, romantic and dreamy). She truly captured the emotions of joy laughter and love. Wonderfully heartfelt photos. She was easy to get to know and feel comfortable around. The value of her work is priceless to us and thrilled to have our beautiful photos become timeless heirlooms for us and our families. We know we will look back on our day and the photos will conjure not just the event but also the feel. To top it all off, we received all of our images few days after the wedding. We made the best decision of choosing Alina to be a part of the most memorable day of our lives. Thank you Alina for capturing moments that will forever make our hearts smile. Highly recommended. From the booking, through the shoots and getting pics back. She cares about making you happy. Love, Kris and Hazel read more

My husband and I are both so happy that we went with Alina for our photographer!!! The wedding pictures were probably the thing I cared about most in planning our wedding day. I spent a lot of time researching and found Alina and loved her work. We went with her after a few email conversations, and I am SO happy that we did! Our wedding and engagement pictures came out beautifully, and Alina did an amazing job of capturing both our wedding day and our engagement shoot! Beyond being an amazing photographer, she is responsive and great to work with: she replied quickly throughout the wedding planning process and took time to thoroughly answer any questions I sent her way. Going with Alina as our wedding photographer was definitely one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process!! She does incredible work and is a joy to work with! I highly recommend choosing her as your photographer! read more

Choosing Alina to photograph our engagement/wedding was by far one of the best choices my husband and I made planning our wedding. From her willingness to work with us, and how immediately comfortable she made the photography process to the amazing pictures we got as a result, it was a perfect experience. She took the time to get to know both of us, and kept up such thorough communication that I never had to worry about a thing. Alina encouraged my husband and I to do a first look, and it was one of the most meaningful moments of the whole day. She captured everything so beautifully from the ceremony, to my 9 year old brother's reactions, the laughter, the tears, and everyone/thing that made that day so very special....Not to mention how nice it was to have someone around who understood so much about being short too. :) Alina really is the total package. read more

Alina and Timmy were so great to work with, and were so flexible with our schedule. Chris and I live in Florida and we realized our only opportunity to get in our engagement session was going to be Thanksgiving, when we would be visiting home for a few days. We were so relieved that Alina and Timmy were willing to schedule us last-minute despite it being a holiday week! We can't thank them enough for that! And of course, they were so fun to work with; they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and they took our goofy personalities all in stride. We loved the pictures we got from the engagement session, and are so excited to see what special moments Alina and Timmy capture on our wedding day in June! -Sallie and Chris Post read more

I first fell in-love with Alina's portfolio and reached out to her to ask if she would be amenable to do a maternity photoshoot as I loved her style. Ever since said yes to that, my family and I have had such a great experience working with her. Alina's work is natural and beautiful. She is extremely personable, patient, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend her more, and I look forward to continue having her capture family moments in the future. read more

I have shed tears, I've laughed, I've smiled. Alina did a phenomenal job and you were worth every single penny. I couldn't imagine having anyone else do those photos. We have the most amazing pictures to remember our day. She was everywhere but also nowhere!! She somehow captured moments I either already forgot about or didn't know about so it's so fun to see those! She is amazing and any couple is blessed to have her as their photographer. read more

If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Alina has been so helpful, friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process - she made the initial conversations easy and welcoming, and she made us feel so uplifted and at ease during the engagement shoot and the wedding day itself.
